Activity 3

The mayor of our local council has approved a project to build a road through a local park. My mother wrote to our local member to say the rights of children had been denied. As a tax payer she felt she had to have her say as did many other people who also sent their objections through the mail. The road has been allowed to go ahead anyway. The council won.

We have breaking news a child has been missed. The friendly, old, soft cuddly Santa has turned evil. Let’s cross live to the family,” I have been good all year I don’t know what I did wrong says the little boy. As you can see behind me the child’s family is devastated. On the happiest day of a child’s life they have received nothing. The child says he doesn’t want to see Santa again. This tragedy has turned many heads and will always be remembered.

….pushing through the earth came a large amount of Vegemite. Everyone was starstruck at what was happening this had never happened before. This catastrophe wasn’t stopping everyone was getting really angry. Lots of people were moving up onto their roofs and all the people were constantly saying were going to die! This catastrophe had to stop so they had to find a plan. A night had past and when everyone woke up in the morning all the Vegemite was all gone? everyone thought it all fell off somehow but nobody cared as long as it was gone every one was happy.

Its 1992 valentines day and everyone is very excited. There is a night movie on in the park and everyone is going. All the couples get to the park but the big screen is nowhere to be found. Everyone was standing in the park starstruck and no one had any idea of what was happening. One couple were thinking if everyone could come round to there house and all watch a movie. Then the man got up and yelled” we have a massive house everyone come round to our house and we can watch a movie a have popcorn” . They all went round to their house and had a ball.

Meetings were held across the country to find an answer to why they are allowed to bring lollies to school. “Lollies should not be allowed in a child’s lunch box at school” said the principal of the school. “We want lollies” children would scream. This controversy went on for ages and they would never stop arguing about such a silly thing. After 3 months the principal finally couldn’t stand everyone arguing and going on and on so she just screamed out so everyone could hear her” OK I do not care you can bring as much lollies just don’t argue any more!” So then all the children bought as much lollies as they could to celebrate!

My name is Mali McLeod and I am 10 years old. I love helping people out. I do a lot of things involving teamwork so I think that I could really help our class. If people feel included that will make 5/6A a better place.

I think I bring to the class teamwork. I think so because I play in two basketball teams and I encourage people if they make a mistake. If I see anyone that is sad I will go sit with them to make them feel better.

I also bring happiness and fun. I think that because I bring lots of laughter into the playground and I love telling jokes. I think this could help our class out when we all don’t want to do something I could say “don’t worry we can maybe play a game after”.

I love doing maths and that can help our class out in many ways. If someone sitting next to me is getting confused I could help them out and maybe they would feel more relaxed and not stressed.

So these are the reasons I would make 5/6A a better place. Teamwork can always be helpful. Happiness and fun always makes people feel included and I love helping people out whenever they are stuck. So those are the reasons I think I could make 5/6A a better place.
